Requirements

• You keep the technical position clear even when ownership, supplier evidence, schedule, or integration constraints are messy. • You judge component decisions by spacecraft, mission, safety, integration, cost, and schedule impact. • You make evidence gaps, assumptions, weak test results, open points, and deviations visible early. • You balance fast development with configuration, cleanliness, verification, and qualification discipline. • You build trust with suppliers, partners, engineers, and leadership through facts and follow-through.

Responsibilities

• Own the assigned fluidic-component technical baseline, including requirements, interfaces, verification methods, qualification logic, review data, and acceptance criteria. • Maintain a system-level view of fluidic, mechanical, thermal, electrical, command, cleanliness, materials-compatibility, safety, operations, and integration interfaces. • Follow supplier development, qualification, acceptance, integration, and operations-support logic for assigned valves, regulators, fill/drain equipment, pressure-control equipment, or related fluidic components. • Keep TEC's technical position clear when following suppliers, manufacturing partners, special processes, or test houses. • Review supplier deliverables, drawings where available, analyses, procedures, inspection evidence, test results, review packages, deviations, and non-conformance inputs. • Make leakage, response, cleanliness, compatibility, lifetime, production repeatability, evidence gaps, delivery risks, and recovery options visible early. • Support MAIT/AIT preparation, integration, test procedures, acceptance evidence, flight-operations preparation, flight-data review, and abnormal-behaviour treatment for assigned fluidic equipment. • What We Would Love To See From You • Strong aerospace, mechanical, propulsion, fluids, or related engineering background. • Experience with spacecraft propulsion fluidic components such as valves, regulators, fill/drain equipment, pressure-control equipment, or related fluid-control hardware. • Practical understanding of requirements, verification, cleanliness, materials compatibility, leakage, actuation, testing, qualification, manufacturing support, and failure modes. • Ability to own technical supplier follow-up for complex hardware across requirements, interfaces, qualification, delivery, integration, and anomaly support. • Strong communication with propulsion, procurement, quality, MAIT/AIT, test, program, suppliers, manufacturing partners, and operations stakeholders. • Fluency in English; French and/or German are useful assets.
